Centerfield Elementary teacher Amanda Tezel said her wish for her first-graders is that each of them continue sharing, growing, and learning throughout the holidays.

She is excited about celebrating her son's first Christmas.

"My favorite holidaytradition is waking up Christmas morning and making a nice, hot cup of hot chocolate," she said.

This year, her students have been kind, caring, and compassionate.
